Lubbock's Fairy Wrasse

Lubbock’s Fairy Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus lubbocki) is a peaceful, reef-safe species known for its vibrant colors and active behavior. Males display a mix of red, yellow, blue, brown, and white—especially striking under good lighting—while females and juveniles are softer in hue but still beautifully patterned. It grows to about 3-3½ inches adult size. Best kept in tanks of at least 30-50 gallons, with lots of live rock for hiding and grazing, open space for swimming, a fine sand substrate, stable water parameters (salinity ~1.020-1.025, temp ~72-79°F, pH ~8.1-8.4), and a tight lid since they are known jumpers. Diet should include live or frozen meaty foods such as mysis and brine shrimp, copepods, and high-quality pellets once feeding reliably.

International Aquatics Quarantine & Guarantee: All fish are checked by marine vets, given a formalin bath, and held for 14 days in copper-treated systems. We feed Selcon-soaked food with Kanaplex and Metroplex during quarantine. Unless marked, all livestock comes with our 15-Day Guarantee. You will receive a video of your fish eating before shipment. On request, we also send photos/videos after arrival at IA.

Several species will be import-to-order and may take anywhere from 3-10 business days to secure. Once your fish is secured, you will be notified, and the quarantine process will then begin.
